There are 12 dog parks within 5 miles of Playa Vista, a
favorite of which is Oberrieder Dog Park. Oberrieder Park is an off-leash bark
park located 10 minutes from Los Angeles International Airport. The park has separate areas for large and small doggos, as well as water fountains for the
pup-ulation (and humans, too!).

Located just down the street is Urban Plates. This new-age,
cafeteria-style eatery loves their furry visitors and has pet-friendly patio
seating. Urban Plates is a farm-to-table establishment that has something for
everyone, including gluten-free and vegetarian options! The Chimichurri Steak
is a customer favorite, but guests can sample many of their offerings before
making their selection.

About 27 miles south of Playa Vista is Rosie’s Dog Beach,
the only off-leash dog beach in LA County. The beach is open daily from 6 am to
8 pm and provides a great setting for dogs to socialize. There are doggy waste stations and poop scoops in the vicinity, but guests are asked to bring their own bags
if possible. There is a one pup per person rule here, so if you have several dogs,
bring a couple friends along! Your pup will have a
blast dog paddling and lounging on this 3-acre stretch of dog-friendly
shoreline!

The Sepulveda Basin Dog Park in the San Fernando Valley is, without a doubt, one of the best bark parks in the LA area. This airy off-leash
park provides plenty of room for your pal to meet and greet other local pooches.
